But it wasnt the food that got most attention yesterday – it was the lack of gender diversity. Only four of the top 50 were headed by women.

In a bid to readdress the balance, the organisers have created an award for the Worlds Best Female Chef, which this year went to Clare Smyth of Core, Notting Hill.

But not everyone is keen to have a women-specific award…including Clare herself.

To separate (male from female chefs) for me is strange, but we dont see enough women coming through at the top and we need to do something about it, she said earlier this year.

I would love to see very soon that we dont need gender-specific awards because women will have recognition and there will be a balance in the industry. Hopefully well see plenty of women on the 50 Best list and there wont be a need for that award.
